Two Paths In Seeking The Divine

In the Twofold Path the Involutionary Inward Path seeks the divine by fleeing from the natural world. The Evolutionary Outward Path seeks the divine through the evolution of the natural world.

This is not the same as the Left-hand and Right-hand Path, where both left and right paths seek the same goal of the Involutionary Inward Path, the God-Within.

The Inward Path was and is the path of all the mystics West and East. Teilhard De Chardin seems to have sought the divine through the natural world, yet he too was grounded in the Inward Path to the Father-Within, which was more involution than the evolution he claimed.

It is the Evolutionary Outward Path which truly seeks the divine through the natural world, by affirming the material world evolving to the supermaterial world of Godhood in the cosmos.

The daunting task of the Theoevolutionary Church is to add the unorthodox Evolutionary Outward Path to the long, heroic, history of the Involutionary Inward Path of the traditional Church, by way of Revitalized Conservatism and Ordered Evolution. In this mission we will be said to be heretical, foolish, or worse, and so we try to proceed by seeking neither approval or disapproval, and by seeking only Godhood.
